"How to Date a Browngirl, Blackgirl, Whitegirl, or Halfie"
The main theme of "How to date a Browngirl, Blackgirl, Whitegirl, or Halfie" is stereotyping. The whole attitude of the story is prejudiced, along with the comments and assumptions made by the narrator concerning the way the girls of different backgrounds/races would act. All comments that were made were purely stereotypes of girls of different races. The setting is important in this story because it allows the reader to imagine the environment of where he lives, as well as his lower social economic status.

I completely agree with your response to "How to Date a Browngirl, Blackgirl, Whitegirl, or Halfie". I too found the story to be full of many stereotypes. It seems to me that the author is judging all of the females he meet based on their exterior. I am a firm believer in the quote, "Don't judge a book by its cover". I never really thought about the setting while I was reading this story unitl you mentioned it in your response. Where the story takes place is essential to any story or point that an author or someone is trying to make. Although I found this story very interesting, I do not agree with the author's judgemental assumptions he chose to acknowledge in his work. I completely agree with your point of view.

I definately like how you discuss this story. It makes me relook at how that author by writing this has had to take into account all the different sterotypes percieved. Very interesting take on the story.
